Joan Maria Mundó i Freixas
Juan María Mundó Freixas was a Spanish explorer and diamond trader.
In 1927 he organised, together with his son and the also Spanish explorer Fèlix Cardona i Puig, an expedition to the southwest of Venezuela starting in San Pedro de las Bocas, tracing back the rivers Caroni and Caruao until they arrived to the Auyán-tepui, discovering the waterfall known nowadays by the name Angel Falls. This waterfall has more than 1 km of height and is the highest in the world.
